Unless Burks blows up, he won't be getting an extension. Kanter? probably.

the 52 million 5 year being thrown around averages out to 10.4 a year. Is that really that bad?

That's pretty bad if you think the odds are 50% or greater that he curves out as a league average starter for his position.
Multiple teams would pay Hayward 10m/y. If you're not willing to pay that much, then you're not interested in keeping him.
I have been thinking about that and does it really matter? Kanter and the 2014 picks will all know that the 5 years is not an option so they just have to deal with it. Ultimately Utah can pay them more money than anyone else or at least match an offers made.

Are you kidding? That would be fantastic. The rumor last night was that he's getting the MAX! That would simply be a franchise ruining move.
Meh, I think the ONLY reason that these extensions are getting done now is BECAUSE they are front loaded. Favors at 12.25 front loaded and Hayward at 10.5 or so front loaded is freakin' genius. If you let the players go RFA, then you don't get to control the contract structure, you extend the players, you get to do great things like frontload. Seriously everyone knows that frontloading the contract is beneficial for the Jazz. The players want their money now rather than later. Can someone give me a logical reason why these contracts would NOT be front loaded? San Antonio likes to front load contracts, so this will not be a foreign concept for Lindsey.
The figures being thrown around on this board. I have seen no credible rumors in regards to a max. So I am not freaking out about anything.
But a 5 year 52 million is great. I was mostly trying to show that it is not bad. People tend to just see the total figure and freak out without doing some basic math.
All signs point to 80% of the board having no real clue what is coming this season and going so far off the deep end that I'll need to buy a old school diving suit.
Do we actually know that Favors' contract is front loaded?
